“…Human motor development is an ongoing cycle and it is an increasingly important area of academic study for those studying Physical and Health Education (CBC) and Sports Science. As a natural process in human beings, the development of gross motor skills refers to changes in the ability to move and movement is a basic or general movement as it extends over life (Payne & Larry, 2012).…”

“…In terms of locomotor age (AEL), children in all three sports are still below average. According to Payne (2012), children can practice their skills by meeting all the criteria at the age of six and above. As for stand-up jumping skills, most children in all three sports are unable to meet the set criteria.…”

“…The low prevalence of skill proficiency is worrying given that children should master most fundamentals by eight years of age [ 51 , 74 ], and because evidence suggests that failure to master such skills may provide a barrier to participation in PA [ 28 , 30 , 75 , 76 , 77 ]. The development of fundamental movement skills is not automatic; in order to develop, skills need to be taught and practiced.…”

“…Second, results would enable comparisons to be made with published research at that time [ 38 , 49 , 50 ]. Third, checklists that list key descriptive components for each skill are useful for consistent scoring [ 51 ], and fourth the resource represented a functional test battery that could be adopted and implemented by primary educational professionals in future.…”

This paper outlines the implementation of a programme of work that started with the development of a population-level children’s health, fitness and lifestyle study in 1996 (SportsLinx) leading to selected interventions one of which is described in detail: the Active City of Liverpool, Active Schools and SportsLinx (A-CLASS) Project. The A-CLASS Project aimed to quantify the effectiveness of structured and unstructured physical activity (PA) programmes on children’s PA, fitness, body composition, bone health, cardiac and vascular structures, fundamental movement skills, physical self-perception and self-esteem. The study was a four-arm parallel-group school-based cluster randomised controlled trial (clinical trials no. NCT02963805), and compared different exposure groups: a high intensity PA (HIPA) group, a fundamental movement skill (FMS) group, a PA signposting (PASS) group and a control group, in a two-schools-per-condition design. Baseline findings indicate that children’s fundamental movement skill competence levels are low-to-moderate, yet these skills are inversely associated with percentage body fat. Outcomes of this project will make an important contribution to the design and implementation of children’s PA promotion initiatives.

“…Motor learning is considered to be the set of internal processes related to practice, and motor experience should lead to relatively lasting changes in the ability to produce motor activities, not being considered an aide to short-term changes [ 4 , 5 , 6 ]. A well-learned skill is maintained over time after a period without practice [ 5 , 7 ], and in gymnastics practice is imperative [ 8 ]. There are many factors that can influence motor learning and the learning of gymnastic skills.…”

Physical education should provide the opportunities to progressively integrate motor tasks with different levels of complexity from early ages to adolescence. The objective of this research was to analyze gender differences in the level of achievement of basic acrobatic skills of students of physical activity sciences in their non-university stages. This cross-sectional study with descriptive design was carried out with a total of 675 first-year Spanish university students distributed over eight academic years. An initial test of two acrobatic skills was performed. The instruments used for data collection were a video camera and observation templates. The SPSS 26.0 computer program was used for data analysis. The main results show a poor and insufficient level of technical achievement by both genders, but more pronounced for men. The most deficient phases were those related to extension movements of different segments of the body and movements that require coordination and stability in the descent phases of acrobatics, and men were less flexible in both phases. Non-university training of the content associated with basic gymnastic and acrobatic skills is being deficient within the subject of physical education with a downward trend of not only the development of sports skills but also of physical abilities such as flexibility and strength.
